Limiting TextField inputs

Question

I\'m trying to make a textfield that limits a user input. I have this code:

 private void jTextField5KeyTyped(java.awt.event.KeyEvent evt) {                          


        

Answer 1

Here's a simple way to do it:

private void textFieldKeyTyped(java.awt.event.KeyEvent evt) {                       
 if(textField.getText().length()>=2) {  
   evt.consume();
 }
}
